I always listen to the Strawberry Letter on The Steve Harvey Morning Show. Since I can't call AND I don't want to be limited to thirty seconds, here is my response to the following letter.
Subject: Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
GOOD MORNING STEVE, SHIRLY,CARLA AND TOMMY. I AM 19 YRS OLD SOON TO BE 20 IN SEPTEMBER,I LIVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHO IS 34 YRS OLD.I CHOOSE TO LEAVE MY FAMILY IN NEW YORK TO STAY WITH HIM, HE IS A GREAT MAN I LOVE HIM A LOT ALTHOUGH WE'VE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER AND BEEN TOGETHER FOR A YEAR AND A HALF HE TEACHES ME SO MUCH.HE HASN'T DONE ME WRONG YET AND I DON'T THINK HE WILL. ALL HIS FRIENDS TELL ME HE HAS CHANGED FROM THE MAN HE USE TO BE AND HE REALLY LOVES ME HE SAYS I'M THE ONE AND I BELIEVE HIM BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE TREATS ME. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I GIVE THIS MAN MY ALL? I MEAN AT 19 SHOULD I CHOOSE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HIM.? WE BOTH SAY WE DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ANY ONE ELSE BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT. I USE TO THINK I WAS READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP I EVEN WANTED TO HAVE A BABY BUT BEING WITH HIM MADE ME REALIZE I'M NOT AS MATURE AS I THOUGHT I WAS.SOMETIMES HE TELLS ME TO GROW UP AND WHEN I TELL HIM THIS RELATIONSHIP STUFF IS NEW TO ME HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. I'M DON'T KNOW ALL THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO ALL THE TIME AND I REALLY DON'T THINK I SHOULD LISTEN TO EVERYONE ELSE'S ADVICE BECAUSE EVERY RELATIONSHIP IS DIFFERENT. WHAT SHOULD I DO I THINK ITS TO LATE TO TAKE IT SLOW SO HOW CAN I PROTECT MY HEART AND STILL EXPERIENCE LIFE? HOW CAN I LET HIM SEE I AM MATURE ENOUGH TO BE HIS LITTLE LADY AND STILL ENJOY BEING YOUNG. SIGNED NOT A GIRL NOT YET A WOMAN
I remember when I was in High School. I was in love with these twins. (I could write a whole other blog about twins, but I might get kicked COMPLETELY OFF XU Gold) I chose one to pursue. It ended up being the wrong one. She was in love with a 23 year old man. I also used to see other girls getting picked up and hollered at by grown men. Obviously, this stuck with me. This was beyond dating a senior when you are a freshman. These men were supposed to be grown. I wondered if I had to wait until I was old (35) to date hot high school girls.
Then I went to college…
…FUCK High School girls!
But as I get older and the women around me get older, it seems like their baggage increases. They get kids. They get married. [Most in that order] They get divorced or separated or neither. And they all have been naked-dickin somebody.
So what do I do? I don't want kids. (I love them and they love me back, but as great of a father as I'm destined to be, I would fuck someone's life up today.) I don't want nobody's naked-dick-juice left over lovin. (I'mma start some shit with that one!) And you think maybe I should go a little younger. But someone else is always beating you to the punch. They're getting pregnant and married younger and younger. So seventeen and eighteen year olds start looking good again
Most men want them new off the lot. That way you can break a young woman in the way they want them to be. But just like in the letter, the way to do that is to raise the girl. Only she doesn't know she's being raised. He uses words like mature and grown. This 34 year old retard (Can I say retard now? Will anyone disagree?) is telling a seventeen-year old she is the one. What's going to happen to college and the life experience she is supposed to get before he starts swelling up her belly?
I know people's grandmothers and older relatives got married pretty young. But those generations are and were much more mature than us. They worked and raised younger brothers and sisters because they had to. We work to buy Jordans and Playstations. They were responsible for huge households at a young age. We can't remember to turn the iron off. But no one is to blame for our lack of maturity. Life is easier for us. We can take our time maturing. And we should.
Simply, this girl needs to go home. It's never too late. Swallow her pride. (She's too young to be all caught up in that anyway.) Apologize to her parents. (I'll bet she has a mother AND a father.) Go to school. Get drunk, join a sorority, get some Fs (mostly As thought) fall in love with an asshole, leave him, marry a REAL man. [Any man in New York who says a seventeen year old is the one (whether he's lying or not) is a retard and shouldn't be living without adult supervision.]
I'm praying this young lady runs back home. She is about to wake up 40 and bitter lying in the bed next to a 55 year old who ain't shit.
Good luck to her!
AND THEN...
The next day....
ANOTHER LETTER!
This girl was with a guy for 6 years and had only slept with him in the last 7 years. She caught gonorhea from the guy THREE TIMES!!! She is still with the guy and doesn't know what to do.
I think this is the same girl fromt he first letter, four years later. This is another man who caught a young girl or weak minded woman and is abusing her. We all know this girl is on the road to dying at the hands of this man. And she calls this love. Both these girls I weep for.
One of the young ladies I sent my blog to had her own blog asking - why men cheat and lie. All men don't cheat and lie. I would even go so far as to say most men don't cheat and lie. But these girls are attracted to liars. That's because they don't have the self respect to be honest with themselves about where they are in life. Both these young women are into lives they are not prepared for.
Again
Good luck ladies!
lol wow!!!!! u got some real insight on that. i cant say i disagree with anything u wrote in here.... glad i subscribed ;-)
These women and men u talk about are victims of their enviroment . I bet both of these girls did not have fathers in the homes,because if they did they wouldn't be with these men.I bet the men in these stories did not have father either. I don't have a solution and sometimes I think the problem has gotten to big to fix. If its going to be possible, the key is restoring the black family, if not I fear we are doomed to continue the maddness . Too many black men won't commit ,all they want to do is chase and get as many women as they can. Leaving far to many unwanted babies, who grow up to be emotional fucked up men and women. The men don't know how to be men,they follow the values they see other men follow which just perpetuate the vicious cycle. The same for women never having the love of a father keeping them search for the love a a man above all else. Its what they saw there mother do, running behind a man, any man just to be loved. Having babies by men who don't love or respect them. How do you stop these cycles I don't know. Are these people stupid, technicially yes but one can understand that above all they are wounded and are making decision like a wounded person.So do I bash men for the way they treat women yes, but at the same time I understand why.Do I bash women for allow/ tolerating some mens bad behavior ,yes but I understand why. Black men and women need to share the blame equally,the black race is in a very sad state.We need to want better for ourselves and esp. for our children. Black men respect youselves.Marry your black women and respect them, raise YOUR children. Black women respect yourselves demand respect from the men you chose, stop having babies by any body, protect yourself from disease. If you don't respect yourself how can you ask that anyone else respect you.
I'm happy to elicit such a passioned response! You are right. EVERYONE is to blame. From the people who created them to the landlord who rented and apartment to a 30 something year old man toting around a 17 year old. We as a community have to be responsible as family members for those who lack it. My nieces and nephews don't like to hear me call them out when they do dumb shit but hey my brothers and sisters are too scared to say anything sometimes. Or too angry. If they only knew how many times I saved them from getting their necks broken...
Hey, Great posts by the way...
I'm reading the same book....lol pretty good one.
Anyway, I totaly hear what you all are saying, but unfortunatly, she will learn the hard way and this girl will probably stay for awhile longer. Sometimes we have to learn and make huge mistakes so that we can move forward and be the person we are destined to become.
Yes we do have a responsiblity as you said above. But really are we taking that responsibility now. I do not think so. People are getting to caught up in their own lives to worry or even say something to others. People are closing off and they are too afraid to speak out and extend a hand. I know I have extended my hand and have gotten bitten quite a few times. However that hasn't stopped me yet.
I have two sons 8 and almost 11 and they know way more than I did at that age. Yes I have already had the sex talk with them and the peer pressure talk and the drug and alcohol talk. Yes I will talk to them again in 6 months. I'm afraid tho that all this work will fall for nothing when they get mixed up with women that will screw up everything I have worked for. Hmmmm maybe no woman will be good enough for them.....God I hope I don't end up like that.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting topic and stimulation.
K
Yeah be careful! You don't want to be THAT mom.
Life is good. I'm sharing it with the world. So this is life the way I see it...

It’s Not My Fault
Current mood: rebellious
Category: Life
In the business that I'm in, liability and fault always seems to come up. Since I work almost ALL the time, (I need to talk to my boss about that) I have started to consider fault in my personal life as well as the community as a whole. I have come to realize that while A LOT of lowlifes choose to find fault with what I do, none of it is my fault. Not a bit.
For instance:
It's not my fault my cousin let all his money get spent by a whore who kicked him out of his own house when the money was gone and now he has to live with me. No! Not my fault at all. I begged him to come to Georgia. I begged her to come to Georgia with him. She said no. He obeyed. She spent all his money. She sent him to me broke. Now he has to start from scratch. Any help I offer now should be considered a blessing. But you know niggers... After a place to stay, a job, and more life experiences than he's had his entire 50 year life, I still must owe him something. But guess what...
I will kick your ass out!!!
And not feel any way about it.
So the question is - why would anyone or how could anyone see things any other way?
Like why do naked-dickers like to tell you why you should feel bad for them? "I don't have a degree." Why did you drop out of Junior High? "I got a bad heart." Why'd you smoke so much crack? "I have too many kids!" Why do you keep naked-dicking the same broke dude? "I keep getting pulled over." Why you keep speeding? Why you keep blasting music in church parking lots? Why do you insist on rolling with ALL four of your friends ALL the time, EVERYWHERE you go?
It's not racial profiling, it's just profiliing. You fit the profile.Not the profile of a black/hispanic/asian or whatever person. You fit the profile of a loser! It's not because they don't like gays that you didn't get the job. YOU SHOWED UP IN FLIP-FLOPS!
Why is it our fault? Why is it so hard for the naked-dickers to take responsibility for their own actions? Let me give you all what you've been missing from your life.
There are consequences for each and every decision you make.
AND
You have to live with the decisions you make!
If you don't go to school, you are stupid. Behave accordingly. Sure you can learn to read on your own and pick up skills in the streets, but you didn't do any of that. All you do is smoke weed and watch TV. So NOW you are dumberer.
No one has all the tools to win at life coming out the gate. Rich kids may be missing social skills or a work ethic. Poor kids may be missing networking skills or the proper education. Some children grow up full of love but lacking common sense. They are all going to make mistakes. Some big ones, some small ones. The successful ones are the ones who recognize what they lack and learn from their mistakes.
Your life is ALL your fault. Appreciate it or get a new one. It's all on you
Preach brotha preach!
JR
AND...Some of yall think Suga Free is a gimmick and it ain't my fault if the game reveals itself to you and you don't want to take it for what it is. It ain't my fault if you're scared to bring the truth into your life.
Thanks for the invite to your blog.
I feel ya...in a sense. I do agree that there are consequences for each and every decision you make and you have to live with those decisions. Everything in life is basically cause and effect...your thoughts are the cause and the actions are the effect. However, society in general has programmed us to think a certain way, to act a certain way and because the brain is something that needs training, change does not happen overnight nor will it be "cured" by a deity. Change has to start with questions and if one doesnt know that its inevitable that the being will fail. Questions allow to brain to work and to navigate through life. If it doesnt come up with an answer, it will ask other questions for one to reach their goal. In addition, most people dont know what questions they need to ask and end up worse off than they started.
No, its not your fault. You are responsible for you and you alone but dont you have a duty to your fellow man to assist in times of need? Dont get me wrong, my mother is a crackhead and my grandmother still continues to support her even though she raised my sister and I. I even watched her give away 4 of my sibilings for adoption so no, I dont feel sorry for people like that. But there are some people who really have goals, ambition and are enthustatic about reaching their goals but they really dont know how to do it. Thats where people who can lend an ear to even listen could really help. Not necassirly with marterial things, but an ear could help tremendously.
The willie lynch letter...most of us have heard of it. To be honest with you, in my opinion I feel as though that was the basis of us begining to hate ourselves. We are caught up in mental slavery and will continue to go on until someone unselfishly can point to the root of the problem and begin to ask the question, how do we make better humans now knowing whats wrong. Most of us simply hate ourselves and dont even know it.
So could I see things in a different light, of course. But I also know that I didnt come into the world "a sinner" (lol) but I learned from my enviornment. If my environment doesnt teach me more than what they know, where am I getting my programming from. More than likely the Tv, mass media, other crap going on around me, my school system...etc. Because no one taught me I should think for myself, ask challenging questions and program my own life because...there aint no treasure at the end of the rainbow for thinking a certain way (hope you caught that), I ended up being what society wanted me to be...mentally enslaved.
Most people just dont know that they can change their lives but it takes work. It takes training. It takes refection. It takes energy. It takes ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS! So I dont blame all of us for being "dumb". We just werent born that way, we learned to be that way.
Because I asked myself challenging questions (and didnt even know it) I came across this book and didnt read it for a while. When I decided to, my whole world opened up. And I have challenges, who doesnt. But there was something that stuck out to me (among other things):
A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.
To me, thats the basis of change...of cause and effect but if you dont know this, then how can you begin to change. Its bit of a challenge and as a community we should help each other discover this but...remember willie lynch...he was right. Our mental slavery will last over some 200 years because we have learned to depend on them and not on ourselves. Look around...black people are the only race that cannot seem to unite and there is a root for that. We need to encourage each other to find that instead of allowing our own to be the object of ridicule. Now, who's fault is that.
Each one teach one.
I think you hit on the real root of this blog. Does our duty to our fellow man ever end? God protects babies and fools. Forever? Does that mean the low lifes andd freeloaders get to mooch indefinitely? Because I'm tired and I'm only 30...
Well, in my opinion, there is no god that protects babies and fools so we as humans have to protect our babies, if not, they gon turn into fools. Hell no, not forever. I think you kinda missed what I was trying to say. I meant someone who doesnt know how to go and has been raised in that type of enviornent and the people who raised them were raised the same way may not know the first step to change. Most of my folks back home would say go to church. I would say, it starts by taking back your ability to think. That you are not a robot, your life was not planned, you create every stich and every way of your life and that you ARE responsibile. Once most could even accept it and believe me, a lot of folks CANT even understand that....they dont understand that they have been simply doing what others tell them to do and forget that they even have a brain...their subconscious is RULING their lives. Now, to people who know this, they can do one of two things...They can manipulate others into their way of thinking and make them mentally dependent on them....mental slavery in other words or people (I guess kinda like me) can give you the knowlege, its up to you to accept it and do your own research and find your own way or you Dcan just dismiss it. But understand, its foolish for me to say that everyone who has ever wanted or needed help were freeloaders and get to mooch because thats not the case. But for those who have basically made the same actions over and over and over and over and over and over and really think the results are going to change is your definition of insanity. Ignorant. Stupid. Vile. CRAZY! You must do something different to spark change....first know that you are your creator and your life is left up to you...no invisible friends are going to help you with that one....after all, its those friends who say that they rule you anyway.
Dont get me wrong. This topic of this discussion is something that has made me tired, however Im tired about alot of other things that are going on in the world right now that affects us (as humans) in a whole. Like how it really doesnt matter if you vote or not because the people you see on tv are only puppets for the real headmaster behind the plan to be ultimately controlled. Why these same people are designing a new world order for a one government world? How you and your children and your grandchildren will be victims of this because no one before them gave them any warning...they would coming into the world being "chipped", tracked, basically having other people censor the way they think. No one was able to tell them because the people who should (present day humans) are too busy watching tv, going to the mall, trying to find the hottest trend to "keep up", people not reading, people taking religion to being their master..and in fact the same people who are pushing the scheme of a lifetime are the same people who control your money, takes your money illegally, creates your religion...at least all the major ones and the same public school system our children are learning from because mom doesnt have the time to educate her sons and daughters how to think because she doesnt think enough to know that working 2 jobs just to make ends meet are slowing the progression of her childrens brain. NO one has taught her what the fundamentals are to maybe start her own business, learn a skill or a trade that will give her more flexibility so she can spend more time with her kids and not letting the school system or the church be the deciding factor in how they should live. But if she dont even know basic communication skills or even that she can take back her ability to think then how she gon teach them? Who will be the next victims? Thats the mental slavery IM tired of.
Think of those one of 2 things I can do. I aint talking bout lending out money like Im an ATM, I aint talking about making my house a shelter for the homeless, Im talking about listening to someone, giving them what I feel is the basic component for humans and especailly those living in America and other industralized countries is that we have become dependent on a system, an elite group of people who wants to ultimately control us and we give them the power to by refusing to think...refusing to read....refusing to take back the only thing they shouldnt be able to. I think the topic of your blog may have dealt with a little more as in help in the material world and I took it a bit farther than just the material world.
Low lives and freeloaders mooch because people let them do it. Ive witnessed it first hand for the last past 24 years with just my parents. If you let people run over you, they will. You also have to have some sense as to know when to let go. Dont be a fool cause your imaginary friend cant take care of you.
IF YOU DONT READ NOTHING ELSE ON THIS PAGE, PLEASE READ THIS SHORT EXCERT. THEN GO BACK AND READ MY RESPONSE BUT DO SO IN WHOLE, FOR SOME REASON I DONT FEEL LIKE YA DID :-)
****A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped. And even then the weak man must become strong of himself. He must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.
****It has been usual for men to think and say, many men are slaves because one is an oppressor let us hate the oppressor! But there is amongst an increasing few a tendency to reverse this judgement and say "One man in an oppressor and slaves are cooperators in ignorance, and, while seeming to afflict each other, are in reality, afflicting themselves. A perfect knowledge perceives the action of law in the weakness of the oppressed and the misapplied power of the oppressor. A perfect love, seeing the suffering which both states entail, condemns neither; a perfect compassion embraces both the oppressor and oppressed.
****A man can only rise, conqueer and ahcieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak, abject, and miserably by refusing to life up his thoughts...James Allen
Hey, my responses can be long because these are things that are passionate to me. When you get the chance, read the whole response...I think you would respond a lil more than what you did :-)

This topic of this discussion is something that has made me tired, however Im tired about alot of other things that are going on in the world right now that affects us (as humans) in a whole. Like how it really doesnt matter if you vote or not because the people you see on tv are only puppets for the real headmaster behind the plan to be ultimately controlled. Why these same people are designing a new world order for a one government world? How you and your children and your grandchildren will be victims of this because no one before them gave them any warning...they would coming into the world being "chipped", tracked, basically having other people censor the way they think. No one was able to tell them because the people who should (present day humans) are too busy watching tv, going to the mall, trying to find the hottest trend to "keep up", people not reading, people taking religion to being their master..and in fact the same people who are pushing the scheme of a lifetime are the same people who control your money, takes your money illegally, creates your religion...at least all the major ones and the same public school system our children are learning from because mom doesnt have the time to educate her sons and daughters how to think because she doesnt think enough to know that working 2 jobs just to make ends meet are slowing the progression of her childrens brain. NO one has taught her what the fundamentals are to maybe start her own business, learn a skill or a trade that will give her more flexibility so she can spend more time with her kids and not letting the school system or the church be the deciding factor in how they should live. But if she dont even know basic communication skills or even that she can take back her ability to think then how she gon teach them? Who will be the next victims? Thats the mental slavery IM tired of.
Think of those one of 2 things I can do. I aint talking bout lending out money like Im an ATM, I aint talking about making my house a shelter for the homeless, Im talking about listening to someone, giving them what I feel is the basic component for humans and especailly those living in America and other industralized countries is that we have become dependent on a system, an elite group of people who wants to ultimately control us and we give them the power to by refusing to think...refusing to read....refusing to take back the only thing they shouldnt be able to. I think the topic of your blog may have dealt with a little more as in help in the material world and I took it a bit farther than just the material world.
Low lives and freeloaders mooch because people let them do it. Ive witnessed it first hand for the last past 24 years with just my parents. If you let people run over you, they will. You also have to have some sense as to know when to let go. Dont be a fool cause your imaginary friend cant take care of you.
IF YOU DONT READ NOTHING ELSE ON THIS PAGE, PLEASE READ THIS SHORT EXCERT. THEN GO BACK AND READ MY RESPONSE BUT DO SO IN WHOLE, FOR SOME REASON I DONT FEEL LIKE YA DID :-)
****A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped. And even then the weak man must become strong of himself. He must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.
****It has been usual for men to think and say, many men are slaves because one is an oppressor let us hate the oppressor! But there is amongst an increasing few a tendency to reverse this judgement and say "One man in an oppressor and slaves are cooperators in ignorance, and, while seeming to afflict each other, are in reality, afflicting themselves. A perfect knowledge perceives the action of law in the weakness of the oppressed and the misapplied power of the oppressor. A perfect love, seeing the suffering which both states entail, condemns neither; a perfect compassion embraces both the oppressor and oppressed.
****A man can only rise, conqueer and ahcieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak, abject, and miserably by refusing to life up his thoughts...James Allen

Jesse Jackson (Done Pulled Me Of My Vacation!)
Current mood: betrayed
Category: News and Politics
He done done it again! BUT! What he has done and it will come to pass in the near future is solidify Barack Obama's influence BEYOND Black America.
You know I have been telling yall Barack is not dependent on just being Black or just being a man or just having a white mother or being from Chicago/Hawaii. And now the experts are saying it loudly. (The experts like to steal my shit.)
I was listening to Michael Baisden and he announced – Jesse Jackson had to make a public apology. I thought, 'Oh Lord, this niggah done got caught trying to fuck the wrong person.' Then Michael Baisden said it was in regards to statements made about Barack Obama. Now why he wanna go and do that?
What is truly wrong with Jesse Jackson? He has been accused (in smaller circles) of complicity in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.. He has too much money to just be the grassroots organizer he claims to be. He's fathering children out of wedlock. (I'm big on this one because men/women who attach Reverend [or any other moral title} to their name are expected to exhibit a higher level of self control [Billy Graham]) And now, he wanna try Barack Obama!
Notice, I'm not mentioning the actual comment. Some of us like to get caught up and end up side tracked. As I was watching CNN, these things were said about Barack Obama:
1. This man (If the polls are right) is tapped to be the next president of the United States of America.
2. "Barack does not need the Black vote to win the presidency"
3. Jesse Jackson will end up doing more damage to himself than Barack Obama with these comments.
Which brings me back to - what is wrong with this man? Is he truly jealous of Obama's success? Or is Jesse Jackson truly for sale? And who is paying?
These are the real issues caused by this incident. I hope this does not become divisive. Because if it does, it will almost solely affect the Black community. Black America doesn't need that. Not now.
A change is coming. Barack is coming. If people want to stay stuck on the same old shit, that's just what they'll be stuck with. Old shit.
People, get ready. As Jesse Jackson will find out (and he won't be the last), Barack Obama is a rock that many people will destroy themselves upon when they try him.
it takes us, as the younger gerations, to rise above the negativity put forth by any one person. If we don't, we fall victim to the same thought process that keeps those with older schools of thought, stuck in just that... their older schools of thought. The comment made was assinine, and probbly was, in fact, rooted in jealousy. In any case, you are correct... it will hurt MR. Jackson much more than Senator Obama...
Great blog! Good one to come out of 'retirement' for!
OOOhhhhhhhh the controversy! I'm ready to pop off the LIP! I'll have you know my blog was removed for foul language from my alumni site. Don't think that had nothing to do with the conservative black segment rushing to Rev. Jackson's aide. They better watch out. I'm on the Obama bus and you can roll with it or under it...
SANCTIFIED!!! HALLELUAH!!!
Well I wanted to read the blog twice before I responded; and here is my responce. I agree with the previous comment about the older school of thought. We have to understand that at the end of the day these people(Jesse Jackson, etc.) who consistantly say the most unwarranted statements regarding Mr. Obama are human. I dont uphold these people who have reverend, Pastor, or any other type of moral title to a higher degree than myself. As long as im doing what im supposted to do(Election, life, etc.) then I can go to sleep at night just fine regardless of what someone says, thinks, or projects negatively about me personally or professionally. I think we are doing ourselves a disservice when we look to people like Jesse Jackson to consistantly say, act, and think on the same level as the rest of the Black community. HE IS GONNA FUCKUP ONE TIME OR ANOTHER LIKE HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST PEOPLE!!!! We really are selling ourselves short to look to these people as moral inhibitors for upliftment in our community(let alone personally). We need to look inward and grab that SOMETHING that inhibits us to do better, and at the same time help the next man or woman do better!
He is The REVEREND Jesse Jackson! That should mean more than making some CRAZY [but really sexy] church girl hot.
Oh shit I deleted the second one! ooops. I guess we all fuck up FOR REAL!
Read more: Still crazier than Batman. Just wait til next week. I'm going to sue Jesse Jackson for touching my bottom when I was younger.
